'01 Camaro Dual Halo Headlight Wiring Question I'm installing some Halo/led headlights on my 2001 Camaro.
My question is how can I wire the halo/leds to be on during the day (DRL) and also when the lights are on during the night?
Can i connect a wire to both the DRL wire and the parking light wire from the halo/leds?
Please help.

If I remember right, there are three wires for the turn signals/DRL. When I had sonars on a previous camaro I believe you just attach the power from the halo to the power for the DRL and it'll come on, same with the ground. One of the wires controls the turn signal flash I think and you don't want to use that unless you want your halos to flash when you signal as well. Been awhile since I've done it but I believe that's all there is to it.

The DRL plug is as follows: black - ground, light blue - DRL/turn signal and brown - parking light.
I connected the wire to the DRL/turn signal wire and it works and they flash when the turn signal is on which I like, but as soon as I turn the headlights on, they come off just as the DRLs come off.
I want to do it this way but have them on at night also.
If I connect the positive to the brown wire - parking light, they are only on when I turn the parking lights on on the light switch and on at night but I don't want to have to have the parking lights on all the time.
Can I do any damage to the halos/leds if I connect a wire going to both the DRL/turn signal and the parking signal?

i wired mine to my blinkers since there on constantly. its a 3 wire system so just use a test light to find the power, ground, and accessory then connect to just the power and ground

So I just got new ones myself, what if I don't want to hook them up to the drl??? My old halos were hooked up the drl and the lights kept blowing out, I disconnected the halos, and it hasnt been a problem now.
